A rare winter painting of Norman's ridge, about three weeks before it's spring on the calendar page.
Though the sky should dwarf the mountains, the mass of the mountains takes the stage instead, speaking to me of the things I used for the painting's title--uplifts, granite, old glaciers and vast time.
The field in the front, now used for hay, has been farmed for generations. Potatoes were the main crop for decades. I love Norman's Ridge, and would live there if I were not too lazy to move. If I did live there, I'd be up at all hours, painting the ever-changing scenery and sky. It's a very special place, the clearing so vast it is easily visible from the top of Whiteface. Big sky country in these beautiful High Peaks, and a walk back in time.
